Line up ten discerning travelers and each will offer a different idea for the perfect destination for Spring Break. Craig and I are not huge fans of flying to popular beach vacation spots like Mexico or Florida during Spring Break. No offense to the college students, but they travel by the thousands this time of year and I would rather not hang out with them. They probably hope the lounges at poolside are not full of empty nesters either!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened just a few months ago at Universal Studios Hollywood. I haven’t been to Universal since Alex was a young teen. I can’t even remember the day, she said we went for a birthday party.
Summertime in Napa Valley…and a Proposal!
![We have asked local friends for suggestions as well as discovered lovely places to hike and walk in the area on our own. After reading this fun detailed article by 20 must-visit outdoor spots in SoCal, it inspired me to offer my ideas for where to go to enjoy nature here in Pasadena.](https://www.adventuresofemptynesters.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/IMG_6756-600x450.jpg)
Summertime in Napa can be very hot, but I really don’t care, I just love the place.
I have written before about what time of year is best to visit Napa, the answer is anytime. Seriously, it is so damn pretty, with gorgeous vineyards, breathtaking views, crazy amazing food, restaurants, chefs and phenomenal wine. What more could I want?
